ASU surveys scientists, public on nanotechnology

A survey conducted by ASU researchers found that while both scientists and the general public believe in the potential benefits of nanotechnology, they also think that it may leave adverse health and environmental impacts if not governed carefully. "Our new analysis shows that despite scientists' perceptions of high levels of benefit from nanotechnology research, they tend to agree with the public that they should pay attention to government regulations and unknown risks," says Elizabeth Corley, assistant professor of public affairs.
